We need to say that in the book. Xorg starts up for me using the nouveau drivers. >> 2.

I do see this in the file: m4_defun([XORG_MACROS_VERSION],[ m4_define([vers_have], [1.17]) ... # Added MAN_SUBSTS in version 1.8 # Added AC_PROG_SED in version 1.8 Looking at the glamor configure.ac file, I'm trying to figure out how the /opt/xorg/share/aclocal/xorg-macros.m4 gets pulled in. I did get it to work by $ cd /usr/share/aclocal $ sudo ln -s /opt/xorg/share/aclocal/xorg-macros.m4 After that glamor builds without problem. I'd think that there would be a way to specify an additional directory to search with an environment variable, but I can't find that. > Do you have any other xorg-macros.m4 files on the system ? No. It's an entirely clean build. I do reuse some partitions: /dev/sda1 on /boot /dev/sda9 on /usr/src /dev/sda11 on /home -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
